Wormwood is native to Eurasia and has been naturalized in North America, where it commonly grows as a weed in waste areas in the northern US and southern Canada. It is cultivated commercially in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Oregon. Several species of Artemisia exist, including common wormwood, sea wormwood, and Roman wormwood, which share similarities but have distinct characteristics..

StemThe stems are typically straight, with internodes 4-5 cm long and 0.5-5 mm thick. The surface is pale brown, longitudinally ridged, and has a petiole or its scar at the node. The stems have short hairs and exhibit a short, splintery fracture in the bark. When broken, the surface is yellowish, with no distinctive smell and a bitter taste.

LeafThe leaves are small, crumpled, and easily detached from the stem. They measure about 2 cm long and 2 mm wide. The leaf shape is ovate to obovate with pinnatifid segments that split into 2 or 3 linear or lanceolate parts. The leaves have a greyish green color and are hairy on both sides, with a bitter taste.

Flower headThe flowers are pedunculate, growing on a hairy receptacle that is 1.5 to 5 mm in diameter. Each flower has multiple ligulate petals, which are yellow and heterogamous. The stigma is divided into two lobes, while the stamens consist of five parts with synecious anthers. There are also a few ray florets, which are dilated at the base. The plant's involucre consists of oblong bracts that are hairy and narrow, while its achenes are flat, elliptical in shape, and black in color.

How to use:

Hot Infusion:

To prepare dried herbs or flowers, add 2-3 tablespoons of the dried material to a cup or teapot. Pour hot water over it, then cover and let it steep for 10-30 minutes. This process releases the antioxidants, enzymes, vitamins, flavonoids, and volatile oils from the botanicals into the liquid. Strain and press out as much liquid as possible before serving.

Tips:

• Herbal teas can be sweetened using various alternatives to sugar, including honey, natural fruit juices, stevia leaf powder, and licorice root powder.
• Freeze tea in ice trays or pop molds to create ice cubes or homemade pops.

Precautions: 

Before using this herbal product, it's essential to consult with a qualified healthcare professional, especially if you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking medication.
